Which did you get, Hugh? We got one called Lambton Park from Charlie
and
it's one I've recommended to many people. It flowers prolifically and
even now is covered in a mass of fluffy seed heads and that prolongs
its
'usefulness' greatly. If you have room for another Clematis, I
recommend it highly.

Sacha, I've bought Flammula and Jouiniana Praecox. I might try your
(Charlie's) Lambton Park next time. Thanks anyway for the idea.

C. flammula is *lovely*. We lost our pergola grown one to too much wet
but it's a beautiful Clematis. I don't know the other at all, so I'll
look it up.

Ah - not sure we need a 'thug'! Charlie, will you cut your C. rehderianas
back this year? Ours took so long to grow after that cold start and has
flowered so shyly that I'm wondering if we should best leave it alone this
year? It's a big favourite of mine and I don't want to risk losing it if
it's better left to its own devices.

I tend to wait till spring with that one, when I see the first signs of
shoots, same as flammula cutting back only as far as I can see new growth
coming.
